Note: College Algebra problems solved in detail using proofs ,tables and illustrations for algebraic applications. Note 2: Bonus material in appendix: Includes physics problem, secant and tangent curve leading to a derivative ,approximate graphed integral versus solved integral. This book was written to better solve algebra problems using text, graphs, diagrams, rules, combined to show several approaches of solving algebra in a real life environment. The approach combined careers of engineering, teaching math and research in electrical engineering. Bonus Material in appendix: Review of Quadratic Equation -Real solution Review of Quadratic Equation -Imaginary solution Physics Derivation of the Distance formula Diagram of object thrown off a building Explanation and use of approximate numbers including flow chart Discussion of uses of algebra in Trigonometry and Calculus Calculus diagram of approximate solution and integral solution Diagram of secant curve and tangent curve leading to a derivative solution Physics diagram of an inclined plane using trigonometry and geometry Physics demonstrating units conversion in ratios Discussion of math used in electrical engineering
